SAFETY
CONSIDERATIONS
SAFETY
IN
USING
L.P.
GAS
You should check for leaks at the connections on the I-.?.-gas
system soon after purchase and initial
filling
of L.P.-tanks. and
continued periodic checks
of
the system are recommended. Your
vehicle was manufactured to provide you with full access to all
gas
line connections. Leaks can
be
foulad with
a
soapy water
solution applied to the outside of the gas piping connections: the
soap
will
bubble at the leak.
DO
NOT
USE
FLAME
(OR
EIGETED
MATCHES
TO
TEST
FOR
LEAKS.
Usually tightening of
connections
will
close leaks. If not, ask your authorized dealer
service department to make the necessary repairs.
EVEN
THOUGH
THE
MANUFACTURER
AND
DEALER
HAVE
ALREADY
MADE
TESTS
FOR LEAKAGE,
THIS
CHECK
IS
ADVISABLE
BECAUSE
OF
THE
VIBRATION
ENCOUNTERED
DURING
TRAVEL.
L.P.-gas
is
heavier than air. Leaking gas tends to flow to
low
places.
It
will
sometimes pocket
in
a
low area, k.P.-gas can
usually be detected by
an
identifiabIe odor
similar
to
onions or
garlic.
Never light
a
match
or allow any open flame in the
presence of
leaking
gas.
It is very important to have L.P.-gas shut off
during
refueling of
tow vehicles.
Some
states prohibit
gas
appliances to
be
operated
during
travel,
especially in any underground
tunnels.
Never
allow
gas
containers
to
be
filled
above the
Iiquid
capacity
indicated on the container. If a container
is
overfililed, liquid gas
may flow through the
regulator
causing
it
to freeze and/or
introduce
a
dangerous excessive gas pressure
into
the lines. In
addition,
an
ovefilled container placed
in
hot
sunlight
may
expel
excess
gas
through
the
relief valve and
be
susceptible
to
ignition
by
any
nearby open
flame.
ELECTXICAL
SYSTEM
SAFETY
Circuit breakers and fuses are installed to protect electrical circuits
from overloading. Do not make unauthorized changes
to
circuitry
or add on fixed appliance yourself.
If
you
wish
changes, consult
your dealer and he
will
assist you in obtaining
a
safe installation.
An
approved power supply cord has been supplied with the
vehicle. Always use this cord for hook-up to the 120-volt source.
Note that the cord has a three pin plug, which provides proper
grounding through the third (round) pin.
